Answer Sets

The document contains 10 problems involving sets, Venn diagrams, and operations such as union, intersection, and complement. Each problem provides a universal set, defines subsets within that set, then asks the reader to perform set operations or identify specific regions of the Venn diagram. The solutions show the step-by-step work to arrive at the answers by interpreting the set notation and shading the relevant areas of the diagrams.

1. Diagram above shows a Venn diagram with the universal set, = Q P.

List all the subset of set P.

Solution:
Set P has 3 elements, so the number of subsets of set P is 2n = 23 = 8.
Set P = {2, 3, 5}
Therefore subsets of set P = { }, {2}, {3}, {5}, {2, 3}, {2, 5}, {3, 5},
{2, 3, 5}.

2. It is given that the universal set, = {x : 30 x < 42, x is an integer} and


set P = {x : x is a number such that the sum of it its two digits is an even
number}.
Find set P.

Solution:
= {30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41}
P = {31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 40}

Therefore P = {30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 41}.

3. Given that universal set = {x : 3 < x 16, x is an integer},


Set A = {4, 11, 13, 16},
Set B = {x : x is an odd number} and
Set C = {x : x is a multiple of 3}.

The elements of the set (A C) B are

Solution:
= {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16}
A = {4, 11, 13, 16}
B = {5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}
C = {6, 9, 12, 15}
(A C) = {5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14}
Therefore (A C) B = {5, 7}.
4. Diagram below shows a Venn diagram with the number of elements of set P,
set Q and set R.

It is given that the universal


set, =PQR and n(Q')=n(QR).=PQR and n(Q')=n(QR).
Find the value of x.

Solution:
n(Q) = n(Q R)
3+8+5=x3+9
16 = x + 6
x = 10

5. Diagram below is a Venn diagram showing the number of quiz participants in


set P, set Qand set R.
It is given that the universal set, =PQR=PQR , set P = {Science quiz
participants}, set Q= {Mathematics quiz participants} and set R = {History quiz
participants}.

If the number of participants who participate in only one quiz is 76, find the total
number of the participants.

Solution:
Number of participants who participate in only one quiz = 76
(5x 2) + (x + 6) + (2x + 8) = 76
8x + 12 = 76
8x = 64
x=8

Total number of the participants


= 76 + 7 + 4 + 5 + 3(8)
= 116

6. Diagram below is a Venn diagram showing the number of students in set K,


set L and set M.
It is given that the universal set, =KLM=KLM, set K = {Karate Club},
set L = {Life Guards Club} and set M = {Martial Arts Club}.

If the number of students who join both the Life Guards Club and the Martial Arts
Club is 8, find the number of students who join only two clubs.

Solution:
Number of students who join both the Life Guards Club and the Martial Arts Club
= n(L M) = 2 + 2x
2 + 2x = 8
2x = 6
x=3

Number of students who join only two clubs


= x + 4 + 2x
= 3 + 4 + 2(3)
= 13
7. The Venn diagrams in the answer space shows sets X, Y and Z such that the
universal set, =XYZ
On the diagrams in the answer space, shade
(a) X'Y,
(b) (XY')Z

Solution:
(a)
X Y means the intersection of the region outside X with the region Y.

(b)
Find the region of (X Y) first.
(X Y) means the union of the region X and the region outside Y.
The region then intersects with region Z to give the result of (X Y) Z.
8. The Venn diagrams in the answer space shows sets P, Q and R such that the
universal set, = P Q R
On the diagrams in the answer space, shade
(a) Q R,
(b) (P R) Q.

Solution:
(a)
Q R means the intersection of the region Q and the region R.

(b)
Find the region of (P R) first.
(P R) means the region that is outside P and is inside R.
The union of this region with region Q give the result of (P R) Q.
9. (a) The Venn diagrams in the answer space shows sets P and Q such that the
universal set, = P Q.
Shade the set P Q.
(b) The Venn diagrams in the answer space shows sets X and Y and Z, such that
the universal set, = X Y Z.
Shade the set (X Z) Y.

Solution:
(a) P Q means the intersection of the region P and the region Q.

(b) (X Z) means the union of the region X and the region Z.


The region then intersects with region Y to give the result (X Z) Y.
10. The Venn diagrams in the answer space shows sets P, Q and R such that the
universal set, = P Q R
On the diagrams in the answer space, shade
(a) P R,
(b) P (Q R).

Solution:
(a)P R

(b)P (Q R)
